An intimate folk song rich with autumn imagery—falling leaves, family warmth, and the quiet emotional return home.
Lyrics
Autumn
by AJ Gillette
performed by North Hallow
I'm just driving, through the falling leaves
Twisting turning, the road like a path it weaves
Through the forest - - to my childhood home
As I pull up, mom and dad are waiting there
I can feel it, Autumn's breath is everywhere
Supper cooking, a pie cooling on the ledge
The morning's breaking colder, it's cool when the sound goes down
All the leaves are changing, they make a carpet on the ground
The geese are headed south and the animals prepare
For changes that are coming, they can feel it I the air
Autumn's calling it's my favourite time of year
People happy there's a harvest atmosphere
Crops are gathered and the hay is in the barn
It's been warm these last few weeks but it's that time of year
When you don't see it coming till the leaves all disappear
The winter winds start blowing and the snow starts coming down
Change the tires on the car and we all hunker down
We gather round the fire watch it as it burns
Start telling stories, we're all taking turns
Family together - so many stories yet to tell
